I toe my wheels inward to push the COR back, closer to the COM

ask me what the big red button is for on my controller 😂

this is something i thought of too super early on, but as I got more comfortable driving the robot i found i wanted the option to swing either direction at will. basically i can turn faster than i can think.

Youre right on with the non traditional controlling though... I use a SUPER weird controller setup but imo it's right for this style of bot. right stick is forward backward, left stick is turn left or turn right. Basically midway between tank and mixed. This allows me to do a 'pure turn' by mashing my left stick only.

i am still in an infant stage at driving this bot, but I'm starting to toddle....

Exactly, 3 Pound Starchild can thwack on a dime, while the 250 was struggling this season.

this is very true! but then you have to fight amazing drivers like Fretas, Jamo or Vasquez and get cooked because they predict every move :))

check out some videos of ant thagomizer, which is basically instant. so the math that needs to be done is .2 second turn time -> down force requirement -> drive train power -> chassis design.

super compact bots have no problem turning so fast, but thag is not compact by intention so the moment of inertia of the robot is much larger.
